About this map

The Little Muddy River meanders through this portion of southern Illinois, defining a landscape marked by small agricultural settlements and a dense network of country roads named for various states. The city of Ashley serves as a central hub, where the local street grid meets Ashley Lake and the Indepent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. Further south, the village of Radom is anchored by Saint Michaels Cem, reflecting the area's established community roots.

Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Liberty Cem, Logan Cem, and Brick Cem, which are scattered among the fields. Water management and transit are visible through features like the I C R R Reservoir, nodding to the legacy of the Illinois Central Railroad, and several named creeks including Back Cr and Novak Cr that drain the territory toward the river basin.
